What does darkness offer you? This question is at the heart of a new experiential show at MSU’s Abrams Planetarium, designed by artist Jan Tichy. On the occasion of his exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Museum, Tichy worked with campus partners to develop an immersive experience that explores light and darkness through the work of several labs and researchers at MSU. Part planetarium show, part discussion with the artist and collaborators, audiences will see their surroundings in new and profound ways.
We’d love to see you at this event!

On view Jan. 31–Jul. 26, 2026, Jan Tichy: Darkness invites us to renegotiate our connections to the rhythms of nature, circadian cycles, and the broader environment, and embrace our relationship with the dark.
